I was the first one to defend Hillsong when someone brought up the NYC church some time back
THEN
I found out what is going on with Brian's son and the son's wife
THEN
I found out numerous other questionable examples of actually setting a Christian example
where there is smoke there is fire
I've had people say things about me that are not true and it really hurts especially coming from other Christians
SO
I am very careful to check the facts before I post
[FONT="]Some have mistakenly defined spiritual discernment as a God-given awareness of evil or good spiritual presences—the ability to tell if a demon is in the room. While some people may possess this capability, it is not the biblical meaning of [/FONT][FONT="]discernment[/FONT][FONT="]. Spiritual discernment ultimately has to do with wisdom and the ability to distinguish truth from error. ( a quote I agree with)
[/FONT]Far too many Christians rely on the discernment of other believers, like those of us involved in online discernment ministries. It’s okay to learn from each other (iron sharpens iron) but, again, we must do as the Bereans did – test! Regrettably, when it comes to testing for errors, a growing number of professing Christians deserve a failing grade. (also a quote I agree with)
keeping the above in mind, I have personally seen the instagram posts from Brian's dil and they convey a woman who has no conception of what it means to testify of Christ by our actions, words and even how we dress
check out Steve West who knows what he's talking about
this Steve West:
Before reading the article by Steve West, it is important to understand who Steve West is.
Steve studied for his Diploma in Christian Ministry at Hillsong International Leadership College in 2001 and 2002.
During that time he served in most ministry areas – kids, youth, carpark, sound, new Christians, offering collection and ushering. He worked closely with many leaders and gave virtually all his available time and money to the church, volunteering at all conferences in that time and spending an average of six to seven days a week at Hillsong Church. He progressed to an effective pastor position at an affiliated church and ran a local young adults ministry effectively for several years.
